Editorial Reviews
HEALTH recorded its debut full-length in one of the band's favorite places--The Smell, an all-ages venue in downtown Los Angeles. The members also went out and found equipment born the same time as The Smell, mostly ribbon microphones designed by the BBC for radio broadcasts in the 1930s, stuff George Martin liked to use, and other things they didn't even know existed. The album boasts eleven songs in less than thirty minutes--new music with old sounds.

This is the experimental music I love and crave. Each track presents you with something new and ear-lovingly interesting. Drums are the essential element in this album and the most noticeable from track to track. Their unique style, as quoted from their page on wikipedia, is described as "artfully crafted noise and raw synth, haunting monotone vocals, and drum skills that are borderline insane". Vocals play a vague roll throughout the album and combined with the spastic, persistent drumming create a feeling of an ritual chant gone hard noise rock. I found portions of the album to be slightly unlistenable upon first listen but after a couple more they grew appreciatively and fit nicely in with the music. Health pushes the boundaries of conventional music and extends pauses to great lengths, at times blurring the line between tracks. The album is woven seamlessly to give it the feeling of one long track and flows perfectly for listening all the way through or song by song depending on the mood.
If you're looking for something fresh, loud, and slightly insane, this album is for you.

How can someone write a negative review based on buying it for someone who already had the vinyl? 8-l I'm shocked that this doesn't have a higher rating. I love it so much. Saw HEALTH perform in Prague and Seattle. They were phenomenal. Get Color is a must have as well, but this is my favorite.

I Loove this cd so much. It has 13 regular tracks + 4 MP3 tracks. It's a great deal for the price, if you're a fan of techno music in general. I still listen to HEALTH's Get Color a lot, but this album is terrific on its own. It includes Crimewave remix by Crystal Castles, which was definitely a highlight.. and many others like this. Hence my 5-star review.

Big Deal
Not sure what the big deal is. Take Suicide and mix in a little Wolf Eyes and Presto! noise rock in a can. This is really nothing special, I promise. Read more
